Prepare to have your mind blown with a hilarious twist on the iconic Wolverine character! Jordan Allen and Matt Cairns from Corridor Digital have ingeniously used AI animation tools to reimagine Wolverine as none other than the legendary Danny DeVito. Drawing inspiration from DeVito’s beloved character, Frank Reynolds, from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” they have created a hilarious mashup that will leave you in stitches.
In their video, titled “Wolverine, but it’s Danny DeVito,” Allen and Cairns prove that DeVito would be the perfect fit for the role by introducing their own creation, Wolverito. With a heavy influence from DeVito’s irascible charm, Wolverito takes on the persona of Wolverine, showcasing his unique fighting skills and fearlessness.
The idea of DeVito as Wolverine gained so much traction that a Change.org petition was launched in 2019, advocating for DeVito to be cast as the next Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The petition argues that DeVito’s height, standing at 4’10”, is much closer to the character’s portrayal in the comic books, with Wolverine being 5’3″. Additionally, DeVito’s portrayal of the Trashman in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” demonstrated his ability to handle intense and gritty fight scenes.
So, get ready to witness the hilarity unfold as DeVito’s alter ego, Wolverito, takes on the mantle of Wolverine in this entertaining video. It’s a playful and creative take on the beloved character that showcases the versatility and comedic genius of Danny DeVito.
